Device physics: Update on 3D displays
Joseph W. Perry1
Abstract
Static three-dimensional images are easy to make using holographic techniques. Moving pictures are more of a problem. A palm-sized, updatable display using a specially designed polymer could be a breakthrough.
Moviegoers who crave that feeling of being 'inside' the action will welcome the news from Tay et al. on page 694 of this issue1. The authors report a development that brings this dream a step closer to reality — an updatable, three-dimensional display based on cheap, easy-to-process photorefractive polymer materials.
